Transplant and Pulmonary Hypertension

Lung or heart-lung transplant is a treatment option reserved for patients who are not improving on medical therapies. While transplantation can prolong survival, improve quality of life and offers a potential cure for pulmonary hypertension (PH), it also carries risk of significant complications and many factors need to be considered before going forward.

Transplant Mentor Program. If you are a transplant recipient and would like to serve as a mentor to a PH patient currently considering transplant or if you are a PH patient considering transplant and would like a transplant mentor, please email Transplant@PHAssociation.org.
